The earthquake occurred at a relatively shallow depth, only 20 kilometres (12 mi) below the surface, which would have amplified the shaking effect. [7] Earthquakes of this size according to the U.S. Geological Survey are 40 km × 20 km (25 mi × 12 mi) in rupture size. [1] The earthquake occurred at the southern extent of the Guerrero Gap.
